  • Experience in both direct and programmatic media buying through diverse platforms.
  • Proficiency in utilising third-party tracking tools like Google Analytics to interpret data and make informed, data-driven decisions.
  • Familiarity with ad serving technologies, such as Flashtalking.
  • Understanding of attribution models and the capability to derive actionable insights from multi-touch data-driven attribution tools.
